[QUOTE="omghelp, post: 394696"] Thank you all so very much.....Monday is his preliminary hearing for the retail theft. In the state of PA the maximum law is 5yrs in prison and a 5,000 fine...plus he can be sued in civil court by the retailer to regain their costs. He has returned all the merchandise and cooperated with the police....I really gave him no option there....they had everything on video...from the time he pulled in the parking lot to the time he pulled out....kinda hard to fight that! We do not have an attorney right now as I can not afford one. I will bring that up in court on Monday. I will also see how this district justice is and perhaps be able to speak to him would be an option...I am not sure. His arrest the other night was for possession of pot. He did not understand what the big deal was.....or he understood and just didn't care. I never thought I could get to a point of disliking my child but here I sit. He has had extensive physco therapy thru out his life...when I tell him now to go to counseling...that I will go with him if he wants...his response "why I don't have an issue with my life you do!" The tears flow now with no control...I have no idea why he is stealing...for the thrill, because of drugs...does it really matter? Either way it is unacceptable behavior. He is a smart allec big mouth who will fail miserable with "bubba" in jail. I'm sorry I know I am rambeling on and on here...I guess sometimes it just helps to talk to other parents who have been there...are there...and who understand the pain and heartbreak these kids can cause. I will check out the other forums and see what I can find there...thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
